“The way to cope with the future is to create it. (Ilya Prigogine)”
I’m a political scientist and data geek with knowledge in survey research and design, statistics, econometrics, and statistical software development. I worked as a Researcher for a survey start-up in Colombia and have several years of experience doing social research, particularly surveys, in different settings. I enjoy building things that make doing research easier.
I also love teaching. I have taught different topics, to different ages, from languages to kids as small as 8, to high school social studies and undergraduate and graduate level quantitative methods and political science classes.

This site is still a work in progress.
In my role a Senior Researcher for Sensata UX Research I developed a software suite that allowed for the quick and consistent data cleaning and analysis of the survey data collected using Sensata’s proprietary platform. It was developed using R statistical language. This included two different packages, SensataDataProg and SensataDataAnalysis, both available on Github.
We also conducted a study on affective polarization among the private corporate sector and civil society in Latin America. This was funded by Fundación Sura. The goal of the project is to identify what separates and divides these two groups on terms of their affective views of each other and their ideological positions. The project is called Tejiendo puentes. You can listen to a podcast based on this study here
